Octavia's pov

"Octavia?"

"Ryder?"

Two surprised voices said, they belonged to my parents. I felt Ryder tense up as I slowly backed away from his touch and turned to my parents.

"H-hi mom, um what are you guys doing back I thought you weren't coming till Monday?" I asked nervously, avoiding my father's gaze, I'd much rather focus on my mother.

"We got an early flight, we thought we could surprise you and Jeremy." My mother's voice spoke gently trailing off as she looked between Ryder and I, a look crossed her eyes before she turned to my dad.

"What's going on here?" My dad finally spoke accusingly and there it was.

"Brian-" My mom tried to reason, but, he cut her off quickly.

"No." he shook his head, staring at us with his eyebrows drawn together, a look of anger crossing his features.

"Listen Brian I can explain-" Ryder began.

"No you won't, whatever this is it's done, so is the deal we have Mr. Salvatore, I'm sorry, Octavia inside now." My dad interrupted, he looked so mad I didn't think this would upset him so much.

I didn't know what to do, I looked at Ryder and seen he was pissed. My heart began to speed up, could my dad really stop me from seeing Ryder.

"Honey, Brian please-" My mom tried again, grabbing onto my dads arm but, to no avail.

"No Alison, you know how dangerous her being involved with him could be for her, I won't allow it." he said sternly and marched inside, "Inside now Octavia!" he repeated which made me jump.

My mom shot me and Ryder an apologetic look before following my dad inside with their luggage. I was completely stumped, what was he talking about. What did he mean, I would be in danger with being involved with Ryder.

"You still look so cute when you're confused." Ryder said, trying to lighten the mood.

"Nows not the time Ryder." I half smiled, which only got a sigh from him, then his hands were cupping my face, caressing my cheeks.

"I know love, I know." he softly repeated while looking into my eyes with his deep brown ones.

I sighed as well, cupping his right hand in mine and  turning my head slightly to kiss his palm, "Remind me to put 'our walk' on my bucket list." I said with a small smile our soft gazes still connected.

Ryder smiled as well, "I'll come see you tonight, ten o'clock at your window okay?" I nodded my head and we pulled away from each other.

"Octavia, living room, now." My dad called, when I had walked through the front door.

When I made it to the living room my dad was standing up while my mom sat on the couch. Luckily there was no trace left of the party the night before. That would have just made everything ten times worse.

I went and sat on the couch in front of them, "You are not to see Ryder anymore, like I said out there, whatever it was it's done now." he stated, looking me in the eyes with anger.
